Okay. I'm going to fuck with your head. Don't click this unless you're sure.

The color red is not even the same for you between each eye. Go look.

    Given that it's the same brain interpreting information from two different eyeballs, I'd suspect this is down to minute differences either between them (such as adjusting for darkness while testing as Kratzkopf suggested), or in their relative position.

    It's interesting, but I don't think it really gets at the question of differing perceptions between people.
